Sometimes, the most unlikely of suspects take the cake…
Trouble shows up for recently divorced Sarah Murray and Layers Bakery in the picturesque high-desert town of Bishop, California when her black sheep cousin appears suddenly after an eleven-year absence—mere minutes before a murder takes place.
With Sarah’s bakery competitor dead and the police focusing in on the most dubious of suspects—herself—she must launch her own investigation to find the real killer.
But complications arise when Sarah is tasked with organizing a local Fall Colors Festival in addition to balancing her bakery’s quirky staff and the burgeoning nonprofit need to train errant high school students in workplace skills.
With a little help from Jake and his K-9 partner, Sarah navigates an off-the-books investigation…until the killer makes good on scrumptious threats.
